Taiwan here we come!!

I'm going to TAIWAN! Hooray!! *griNz*

Finally I get to get out of the country and go on a long holiday~ I kinda miss the feeling of exploring a new place! A new country, a new city... A world totally different!

Ever since Melbourne trip last May, I've been craving to travel again... to a totally different place. I miss Melbourne~ the exploration of the city based on almost no preparation proved to be quite fun. Basically we just walk around and end up on wherever the path brings us to. Sometimes with a specific location in mind, sometimes NONE...

I hate to join tour groups even though they bring us to places with a planned itinery, transport all taken care of and meals as well... I would rather go free and easy and explore every place on my own! Afterall, it's a city... It shldn't be that difficult to get around to places.

The thing I hate about joining a package tour is that we're rounded up like chickens every time they need us to gather and go on to another place. Every destination we go to, it's a rough 15min to take photos and we're hurrying off to another destination again... And sometimes, the whole trip can be totally spoiled becoz of selfish tour mates or lousy tour guides! Worst of ALL, usually the morning gathering time is 7.30AM!! I'm still half-asleep and I got to rush down to the lobby, grab watever is left of the buffet breakfast and we're off to wherever they want to bring us... *SIGH* It's supposed to be a HOLIDAY, not torture camp... I wonder how many pple out there agrees with me?

I'm glad Eddie is as adventurous as me... Willing to accomodate my preference. I just hope we dun argue on where to go when we're over there... LOL! This will be our second trip overseas~ Not counting Batam actually, coz that's a simple weekend getaway... The first one is to Thailand, Bangkok! During X'mas last year...

The trip to Bangkok, I made the mistake of wearing flip-flops and walking the WHOLE day... Without proper foot support, I ended up with a backache after one day! My ankles and my feet feels like it's going to drop off ANYTIME ;P So, this time round, I went to get myself a proper pair of shoes that I hope will provide more comfort compared to my flip-flops... Afterall, we'll be walking around for 7 days! WAHAHA~ 7-days out of this country! away from WORK~ I hope we have enough time to go to Taipei, Hualian and Taichung...

I'll be leaving on Friday!! Hope I'll have loads of fun~
